Route Development & Rumours

I know Delta would normally be out of the picture seeing they have Virgin but are Delta, American and United really telling is that the all these "random" places that they pick for summer seasonal European services all have greater travel demand for the US tourist that adding than just a 4 weekly service from any of their hubs?

Well I suppose it depends on how much money they feel they can make. Whether they get incentives to fly to these destinations or whether these destinations are promoting themselves well and convinced the airlines.
 
Lots of services over summer are not as busy due school holidays in each country
 
Don't be surprised if there is big increase in flights to the Carribean next autumn/ winter. Aer Lingus probably will end up kicking themselves for pulling out of tge Barbados route .
Think it will be 3-4 years after this war in the Middle East ends before we see a return to numbers wanting to travel to or through the Middle East.

I wouldn't rule out capacity increases in Asian routes either. People will still want to travel East but might look to avoid the Middle East.

Possibly potential for more growth at Istanbul and the European hubs.

Yep going East has potentially less options for people now. I'd expect that Manchester would be looking to get all it's hub airlines to expand their capacity but obviously will be up against big competition.
 

RYANAIR ADDS 19TH AIRCRAFT AT MANCHESTER FOR SUMMER 2026​

US$1.9BN INVESTMENT, 9% GROWTH, 2 NEW ROUTES​

Ryanair, the UK’s No.1 low-fares airline, today (Fri, 27 Mar) announced that it has added a 19th based aircraft at Manchester Airport for Summer 2026, representing a US$1.9bn investment in the North West and supporting over 7,300 local jobs. This additional aircraft will deliver +540,000 additional seats (+9% growth) and 2 exciting new routes to Castellon and Rimini. Ryanair has also increased frequencies on another 37 routes, including popular holiday hotspots like Faro, Porto and Rhodes, as well as top city break destinations like Barcelona, Dubrovnik and Milan, offering Ryanair’s customers in the North West even more low-fare choice and regular connections this Summer.
Ryanair’s Manchester Summer 2026 schedule will deliver:
  • 82 routes, incl. 2 new routes to Castellon and Rimini
  • 19 based aircraft (+1 vs. S25 – US$1.9bn investment in Manchester)
  • Increased freq. on 37 routes
  • 6.6m seats (+9%)
  • Manchester traffic grows to over 9m passengers p.a.
 
Thanks for the info @Scottie Dog
Stands 16, 17 & 47 look set to reopen before the peak summer period so just in time for the additional aircraft.
This should mean that now all Ryanair aircraft will be parked at T3 stands instead of using some remote stands next to the hangers.

survived a redundancy scenario where I work for the 3rd time. Now it looks likely I will get to cover work for 2 other teams.. Pretty please for a payrise? That would be a no and so stay on the min wage.

Well it looks like I'm off to Australia and New Zealand next year! Booked with BA from Manchester via Heathrow with a stop in Singapore and returning with Air New Zealand and BA via LAX to Heathrow. Will circumnavigate the globe and be my first trans-Pacific flight. First long haul flight with BA as well and of course Air NZ.
